Batting sale at Jo Ann's
 
Jo ann's has a sale on Soft and Crafty batting this week. Has anyone tried this ? What is your opinion. Thank you

I don't know but I just ordered a roll! There is also a code so the shipping is free.

It is a little thinner and lesser quality than Warm and Natural. I have only been using it for quilts that I am donating and saving the W & N for the quilts I give as gifts. I have also found that it is not an even thickness throughout, kinda varies.

Ditto I also like wool by Hobbs and 80/20

Well, I hope it's not too bad. I bought a roll to use for my charity quilts!

I almost bought a roll then realized it's actually more expensive than Hobbs 80/20 if you buy a whole roll of it from either Marshall Drygoods or HeartBeatQuilting.com (no affil with either). At those places, you can get 80/20, 30 yard for $111.00, with shipping ~$141.

Soft and Crafty 90": $99 divided by 25 yards is $3.96/yd. Multiply that by 30 yards so you can do a direct comparison with the Hobbs: $118.80 for 30 yards. The free shipping coupon, of course, helps, so you don't have to pay shipping.

If you can stop and pick up your batting at either of the online sites I mentioned (or possibly some of the other online sites), the price is lower and the quality is probably better.

If nothing else, wait until the Soft and Crafty is $80/25 yards. It was that price last January and no doubt will be again. Or sign your husband, child, etc. up for Joann's emails and get the 20% discount coupon ;-). Or, if nothing else, use the $5 off $25 coupon on RetailMeNot.... That will get you a few bucks and make the batting more of a bargain.

Yes, I have become a bargain hunter ;-).
